I am sorry I cannot help you, but I have a watch that sounds the same. It has a dainty little security chain that hangs from it as well. I believe it is white gold. If you find out anything, let me know and I will do the same. I believe this was from when sears and Roebuck were only putting out catalogs with watches back in the late 1800's to the early 1900's.
This was a trade name sold by Sears Roebuck, c. 1900-1940. Probably manufactured by Iver Johnson.
Sears didn't use the mail, but the railroads for their orders. In the 1800's a watch salesman named Sears came up with an idea to sell items by catalog. He opened a wherehouse in Chicago because that was the rail hub for east/west bound trains. His catalog carried everything from dolls to kit houses. Everyone had two things in their homes. A bible and a Sears catalog until JC Pennies thought Sears had a good idea and produced their own catalog. It wasn't until the 1900's that a Sears store opened.
The Scott catalog number for this stamp is 2452. The Circus Wagon stamp was not issued in 1866, it was issued in the 1990s. The wagon was made about 1900. The stamp has a minimal value.

When mail order catalogs began it was sent by railroad. Sears in the 1800's was the first mail order company. Sears was a pocket watch salesman when he came up with the idea to sell using a catalog. He began his company in Chicago because it was the railroad hub for western/eastern trains. His catalog sold everything from dolls to kit houses and every home had two things on the coffee table or kitchen table. The Bible and the Sears catalog. Since the car isn't invented until the early 1900's people in rural areas had problems getting some supplies, so the Sears catalog met those needs. All they had to do was go to the shipping office of the railroad and get their order. Eventually JC Pennies also produced a catalog to compete with Sears.
c.1900-1930. There is no model number. These were hardware catalog shotguns and value is going to top out at $100. sales@countrygunsmith.net
